In more recent years, computer programs have been used to find and calculate more precise approximations of the perimeter of an ellipse. In an online video about the perimeter of an ellipse, recreational mathematician and YouTuber Matt Parker, using a computer program, calculated numerous approximations for the perimeter of an ellipse.

For an ellipse, two diameters are conjugate if and only if the tangent line to the ellipse at an endpoint of one diameter is parallel to the other diameter. Each pair of conjugate diameters of an ellipse has a corresponding tangent parallelogram, sometimes called a bounding parallelogram (skewed compared to a bounding rectangle).
Finding Ellipses: What Blaschke Products, Poncelet’s Theorem, and the Numerical Range Know about Each Other is a mathematics book on "some surprising connections among complex analysis, geometry, and linear algebra", [1] and on the connected ways that ellipses can arise from other subjects of study in all three of these fields.

An ellipse (red) obtained as the intersection of a cone with an inclined plane. Ellipse: notations Ellipses: examples with increasing eccentricity. In mathematics, an ellipse is a plane curve surrounding two focal points, such that for all points on the curve, the sum of the two distances to the focal points is a constant.
For example, the maximum distance from the origin on the ellipse + = occurs when c 2 = 0, so at the points c 1 = ±1. Similarly, the minimum distance is where c 2 = ±1/3. It is possible now to read off the major and minor axes of this ellipse.
In mathematics, a Hartshorne ellipse is an ellipse in the unit ball bounded by the 4-sphere S 4 such that the ellipse and the circle given by intersection of its plane with S 4 satisfy the Poncelet condition that there is a triangle with vertices on the circle and edges tangent to the ellipse.
Elliptic coordinate system. In geometry, the elliptic coordinate system is a two-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system in which the coordinate lines are confocal ellipses and hyperbolae.
More generally, for any collection of points P i, weights w i, and constant C, one can define a circle as the locus of points X such that (,) =.. The director circle of an ellipse is a special case of this more general construction with two points P 1 and P 2 at the foci of the ellipse, weights w 1 = w 2 = 1, and C equal to the square of the major axis of the ellipse.
